For the past couple of months, the users of the Zoom app on macOS have complained of a bug in the Zoom Community. As per several users, the microphone of their Mac stayed active even after ending a conference call on Zoom. To address the bug, Zoom has now rolled out a new update for the macOS app.
To do that, it has added a bunch of features to Zoom Rooms, including the ability to count the number of people inside a conference room – so you can judge whether you’ll be able to maintain social distancing when attending in-person or whether it’s better to join the call virtually, adjust video conferencing equipment without touching any surfaces, and even measure the ventilation and air quality in a space.
Zoom has even considered the front desk of your office. A new Kiosk Mode will allow a virtual receptionist, working from home but appearing on-screen using Zoom’s video call software, to greet you. They can check the status of current meetings, as well as making sure meeting spaces aren t too crowded.
